Product Description
Columbia Mens Silver Ridge II Convertible Pant: Clothing. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. Part of Columbia's Silver Ridge II collection, these convertible, active-fit pants are the ideal solution for both multi-sport outings and unpredictable weather conditions. A quick zip at the legs and you're wearing shorts with a 10-inch inseam. Quick-dry nylon Mini Rip fabric is super lightweight and incredibly durable and offers superior moisture management to boot. The pants boast plenty of pockets right where you need them: two front slant pockets, zip-closed side cargo pockets, and zip-closed back pockets. Omni-Dry Advanced Evaporation is a moisture-transferring technology that moves and disperses sweat away from the body for quick evaporation, keeping you comfortable during physical activity. During physical activity, increased body temperate can cause perspiration. Normally this results in damp, clammy, and unseemly clothing. With Omni-Dry clothing, moisture is quickly wicked up into the fabric and away from the wearer's skin. The moisture spreads out across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. This wicking and evaporation process keeps the wearer cool and the clothing dry. Omni-Shade Sun Protection Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Shade clothing protects you by blocking the majority of the sun's harmful rays so you can stay out longer. It's like sunscreen that you don't have to re-apply--and it's as easy as getting dressed. Omni-Shade blocks UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sun burn and long-term skin damage through a tight weave construction, UV reflectors, and UV-absorbing technology. Current consumer awareness centers around Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, which is a measure of sunburn reduction from sunblock. However, SPF does not indicate any protection from UVA rays, which are harmful and present even on cloudy days. Like sunblock, Omni-Shade is given a numeric value to indicate its level of sun protection. About Columbia Sportswear Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as Mother Boyle inch in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry.
